Red Sox split twin bill

Game 1 had the Sox visiting J C Burks Brewers. It was a back and forth game all the way to the last play. The Sox scored 1 in the 1st on a leadoff hit from Sheldon Fulton, a hit from Alfredo Sardi and a SF from Joe Calvano. The Brewers answered with 2 in the home 1st. The Sox responded with 3 in the top of the 2nd initiated by Josh Winsor’s hit, Dorian Moore’s hit, an Ian Contreras BB, a run scoring single from captain Casper, and then run scoring hits from Fulton and Sardi.  The Brewers grabbed a 1 run lead after 3 innings 5 to4. In the 4th, Contreras and Casper walked, Fulton singled in 1 run and Garret Granato singled in 2 for a brief 7 to 5 lead. The Brewers tied it at 7 through 4. The Red Sox would score the decisive run in the 5th on a Winsor hit, Moore walk, Contreras hit and a Casper run producing hit.  The Brewers top of the order did not score in the home 5th and behind excellent defense in the 6th, the Sox threw the tying run out at 3rd from Fulton to Calvano to Winsor to end the game 8 to 7.

Game 2 had Kendall Anthony’s Orioles visiting the Sox. The Sox trailed throughout the game but briefly tied it in the home 6th 7 to 7. The Orioles won it with 6 in the top of the 7th 13-7.  The Sox key hits in the comeback included a 3 run 2B from Eli Goldaris and a Winsor tying 2B.
